The man is no Patriot nor will he ever be a Hero.

I don't give a shit if Bolton comes forward or not. He has always been an evil Neo-con and an opportunist to reaching his goals. Right now it seems his goal is to milk this shit storm for all he can to become rich on his book deal and come out smelling like a Patriotic Hero.

Fuck him.

Bolton never was and never will be that. And I am pretty sure he is criminally liable in some of this shit and fuckery from the Trump White House (not to mention past shit and fuckery) and I personally would love to see him held liable.

The Congress and the impeachment inquiry shouldn't be helping elevate this slime bag to Hero status. They shouldn't "negotiate" his appearance and at some point the legal process will come calling and all the positioning and legal wrangling his team wants to claim will be moot. His Lawyers and PR Book Promo team can go fuck themselves.

If that issue was not properly before the court, then it doesn’t matter whether or not the judge included it in the ruling.

OTOH - if the rationale behind the ruling is correct/upheld, then it would appear to apply in both cases.

You want the world to think you’re a big shot who wasn’t stepped on by Trump.

But he effectively squashed you too. Your “I Know Things” book is already a joke and I doubt many will buy it. You won’t even have the fox guaranteed warehouse discount.
